Nah, it happened as soon as round started and the Chef was antag.

[MrWillsauce]

Arrived on the station as an assistant to find I couldn't leave the arrivals shuttle. Another assistant arrived while I was busting my way out with an oxygen tank, and we busted out together. We found that the ship was totally without power and went to tool storage to get some crowbars and station-bounced radios, then I went to the bridge to call the shuttle while he searched the ship for survivors. I found the captain dead in his office, covered in severe burns. I took his ID and armor, then called the shuttle and sent a priority announcement telling any survivors to come to the bridge. My assistant compatriot returned to the bridge with two corpses he had found in the medbay, also covered in burns. We put them and the captain's body in a locker to take back to CentCom for cloning and investigation. We then rescued Ian, Renault, and Runtime and brought them to the escape lobby. My new friend also found a braindead, handcuffed chef somewhere, and we brought him along too, putting him in the brig when the shuttle arrived.

That is the very bizarre experience I just had exploring a creepy-ass dead station, which was probably victim to the previously mentioned dickish AI.

God dammit, guys, I've been proposing switching to baycode for a year now ¦I Although like others mentioned, vgcode might be worth looking into, being a hybrid.

No. God no. A wielded fire axe can decapitate in 3 hits.

No. God no. A wielded fire axe can decapitate in 3 hits.

And that is wrong how? Besides, a fireaxe wielded in both hands, AFAIK, WILL crit you in three or four hits now, so the difference is whether you get killed in a regular way or killed in a dramatic way.

[Ivan Issaccs]

Fires axes do in excess of 33 brute now?
And anyway, a fire-axe of all the standard items I can think of on station should probably be the best tool for improvised amputation.

I checked, it does 24 according to the wiki. Still, if you can get three hits in, getting one or two more is not very likely to be an issue.

I personally support the switch to baycode. It has it's negatives, but it allows for much more immersion (IMMERSHUN) and interesting gameplay. Also, I like the idea of a battle where one team has e-swords and the other has katanas, it'd just be so DRAMATIC.

[Ivan Issaccs]

On the subject of baycode I whole heartedly endorse it.
I cant think of any meaningful features that we would loose, bays combat and medbay code is amazing. ZAS is still in but I have never had issues with it, unless you are trying to quickly space someone without EVA equipment of your own anyway and then is that behaviour this server encourages?
The problem however lies for me in lowpop rounds, injuries on Bay require surgery to fix more often than they don't and no Doctor this round? Enjoy your ruptured lung.

Wuugh, I don't like baycode:
1. I don't like ZAS. At all. I much prefer LINDA, especially when the speed var is set to something like 5x (if the server can handle that ;_;)
2. Can you still whack a dead person's head with a toolbox until it falls off?

Said split in the /tg/ community hasn't actually affected coderbus at all. AFAIK there is not a single coder who has stopped coding.

If we're going to have to switch, I'd much prefer that we switch to /vg/code and port stuff from bay instead of the other way around; /vg/ seems to be better geared to our ideal than baycode. (also most people agree that Nexis is the best coder to grace ss13 for a long time)

That said, it's not like I really play here a lot anymore anyway. I prefer Metastation over Glloydstation (even though I worked on Glloydstation), and Basil is generally a pretty chill place to hang out. (Well, except for startoad devlogging in OOC >.>)

[scrdest]

What are the differences between Baycode and /vg/code, on the purely technical level? I know that they are similar, but I don't know what is changed between the two.

[miauw62]

/vg/ has cleaned up a lot of code, ported a lot of features and the devs are generally VERY active.

[b_knight286]

We have someone being a dick on the server, they electrified shit as the borg last round, and this round as soon as it started they rolled A.I., locked me in my office, and electrified it, then killed power to it.

It was probably the AI, Marvin.  Think it was played by Ship of Freaks or something.  I was the borg, but I spent the round just kind of drifting, looking for people to heal, and occasionally being creepy.  I went to sleep after that round.

[scrdest]

Holy fuck, hardly did I open the changelog on /vg/station and DO WANT. SO HARD.

Most notably they changed Singulo to not use Del() and instead use something allegedly completely lag-free. And they port both Bay and /tg/ features, hell, they even have Goon's Vampire mode. And smooth streaming, although it might be their server being fast.
